i adopted a cat and had him for under a month. his tail had been docked due to an injury, but his loving demeanor made it impossible to not adopt him. when i initially got him, the in-house vet said he'd have no issues walking and that he was de-wormed, neutered, and vaccinated. he still had his cone on because of his recent operation, but that was no issue. once i got home, i realized his cone and entire rear was caked in feces. this includes the area where he was newly neutered and had his tail docked. i cleaned the area as best i could but his dried excrement was so packed on that it would rip his fur out if i tried to remove it. a few days later, he had an infestation of worms crawling down his rear. i unfortunately had to surrender him back to the shelter, as unforseen circumstances arose (not due to his health). i was distraught and in tears as i gave him back. i gave them a list of things he liked to do and asked they show it to potential new owners so he could find the best family possible for him. the entire staff looked at me like i was insane. i informed the vet that he had worms and she blamed it on me, claiming that he had been completely dewormed and i must've taken him somewhere. i told her i only took him to the vet and she condescendingly said "mhmm, sure". the moment i told her he must've gotten worms from the vet's office and i'd call to inform them, her story changed and she confessed that he wasn't dewormed. i posted flyers and ads everywhere i could, hoping it would help get him out of that shelter ASAP (and it did, thank god). don't get animals here and don't bring your animals here. the staff claims to care but all they care about is getting them in and out. take them somewhere else.

The staff at NWSPCA are are the best! They are very friendly and truly care about the animals there. I have adopted several animals over the years and have always had the best experience. Keep up the great work you do!

They have lots of pets there. The people are friendly. But they want way to much for adoption. ☹️

Questions & Answers

Is this a no kill shelter?

Alicia Shaw | Sep 22, 2018
Ellipses | Sep 22, 2019

Not a no kill shelter for sure. But only.... Serial fence jumpers, biters, ferals, and dying or contagious animals get put down. They do there beat to home all viable pets. I worked there for some time and enjoyed it and was proud that we did all we could do.

Well, I went there and adopted a dog we think is a border collie, Great Pyrenees... a big beautiful dog and he was $100. Normally the dogs cost anywhere from $50 to $150 (could be more or less)

Can I make a monthly donation through PayPal ?

andy thomas | Sep 21, 2020
Kara Taylor | Sep 21, 2020

I'm not sure. PAYPAL isn't always free or timely. I would contact NWSPCA directly. Most every respectable and well-run Charity will have a monthly donation option. Good for you to care about our animals.

They had our dog 23days even though we were in constant contact with them. They made us pay $150. To re adopt him. He had lost 7 lbs. They also had him on the kill list in 7 days, if had not been for a lady there named Susan, who went and took another look in the kennels. They had him from the day after he got free from his harness.

Do you help with sick dogs

Connie nuchols | Sep 22, 2018
Sherry Martin | Sep 22, 2018

I don't believe they cure sick animals, I believe if your dropping an unwanted animal off and it's very sick they put them down because they wouldn't be adoptable.

You need to be 16 to work anywhere, I'd enjoy not having a job and focus on school if I was your age. Try babysitting its a good job for someone your age

How long do you keep a pet before you deside to adopt it out

Tabitha Hartmann | Sep 22, 2018
L Green | Sep 22, 2018

State mandated stray holding period is 4 business days, after that they go through an evaluation which includes medical and temperment. We will not adopt an animal that is a danger to the public or have a medical condition that is irriversable. If they pass , they are put up for adoption. There is no set time for there stay with us. Most every animal that passes the evaluation will be kept until they are adopted.

How much would it cost for rabies and pravo shot?? Just those two 6month old male puppy and to neuter I'm currently not working but love the dog and don't want it getting sick

Brandom Ike | Sep 22, 2017

In this area, see P.A.W.S spay and neuter clinic. They have puppy packages available at low costs.

How can we change the laws so that once a dog has attacked people, it is euthanized? How can we change laws that are allowing those with violent dogs to force others to not be able to get to the riverbank? i am over cowardly humans w untrained dogs!

1st you need to re word that question. So your saying if u come in my yard and my protective dog bites u , u want to kill my dog? No,! Now if ur in a park etc an a dog comes after u and bites u then maybe ok. But questions to answer are , are u too close to kids it's protecting, or u to close to something that his? I agree some dogs are very aggressive and shouldn't be in public. So please re ask ur question !

Who do i call on a person for having five dogs in back yard n there constantly fighting each other until one gets injured n the owners don't even come outside to do nothing
